Dear all,
My home has a VDSL modem-router provided by my ISP, that also manages the VOIP service (it has a PSTN port to connect to my existing phones).
The modem-router (192.168.1.1) is connected with an eth cable to an inverter (for remote management of the plant by my installer), to a dumb switch (for our PCs), and by wifi to other devices (TV, IoT devices).
I recently bought an hAP ax3 to extend wifi coverage and to replace the switch. The hAP ax3 (192.168.1.2) is also running the DHCP server (now disabled on my ISP’s router) and the local DNS server.
So far, everything is running fine.
An excerpt of my configuration (I removed the parts about wifi, ntp, static leases, …)
/interface bridge
add name=bridge1
/interface list
add name=LAN
/ip pool
add name=dhcp_pool1 ranges=192.168.1.200-192.168.1.254

add bridge=bridge1 interface=wifi2
/ip settings

/interface list member
add interface=bridge1 list=LAN
/ip address

/ip dhcp-server config

/ip dhcp-server network
add address=192.168.1.0/24 dns-server=192.168.1.2 gateway=192.168.1.1
/ip dns
set allow-remote-requests=yes servers=1.1.1.1,1.0.0.1
My aim, now, is to provide manual LTE failover to my home network using a Huawei E3372h 4G LTE USB stick using the USB port of the ax3.
The stick initiates the LTE connection and it assigns a 192.168.8.0/24 address to the ax3 (the stick, itself, is 192.168.8.1).
I read the posts about WAN failover, but I am stuck since my setup does not involve another WAN interface to replace with the LTE connection.
Any suggestion?
